But, let's not confuse our own feelings with LSU being the smartest move for him. That term gets thrown out entirely too much.




Yeah I have to respectfully disagree with you there. If you don't make it in football, you better be willing to make it in business in the town that you played collegiate football in. No LSU fan, alumni or booster will touch you with a ten foot pole. Fact! But we can write 100 pages about this.

Judging by Dupre's background, he'll be fine wherever he goes.


I hope he ends up at LSU. But, I'd take a long look at the QB situation at LSU before signing the dotted line.

Not a fact. If I thought he was most qualified for a position I have and would help my business then I'd hire him. Not every former player goes into sales. Some go into back office positions or management roles.

Also, this whole "he won't work in this state" mentality has to stop. It is NOT a selling point to kids from LA. It actually makes it clear that some people ONLY care about them as players and not as people. It is actually counter-productive.
